Real activism. Real results.

The Institute for Justice, the national law firm for liberty, is seeking candidates for its highly selective Maffucci Fellowship program. Fellows work closely with IJ’s activism and coalitions team, which fights to change the world at the grassroots through outreach, community organizing, training, coalition building, and public demonstrations—a unique brand of activism that reaches new communities with the message of freedom.

Fellows assist with exciting outreach projects and research, help track controversies and legislation across the country, and provide valuable administrative support to staff on activism campaigns. Fellows receive competitive compensation, gain unique experience on the front lines of the fight for liberty with experienced activists and litigators, and have the opportunity to travel for key events with team members to experience IJ activism on the ground.
